Victoria
Creative Marketing Lead
After completing her 200-hour yoga teacher training in Costa Rica, Victoria began teaching and deepening her connection to the body, breath, and community. That path eventually led her to Body-Based Breakthrough, where she experienced a profound shift—learning to meet herself with honesty and compassion. Today, she serves as B3’s Creative Marketing Lead, sharing these tools and stories to support our growing global community.
Hazel
Operations & Program Coordinator
Hazel works behind the scenes to ensure B3’s operations and program delivery run smoothly, helping every student and client feel supported. Her journey with Body-Based Breakthrough transformed her relationship with herself, teaching her to calm her inner storms and speak to herself with compassion. She now brings that same mindfulness and care to her work each day, helping the B3 Method reach more people and create lasting impact.

Director of Corporate Programs & Organizational Performance
A three-time business leader and certified leadership coach, Kristin brings over 25 years of experience leading organizations of 100–600 people and $3B portfolios—from rebuilding countries in war zones to overseeing IT for the White House. After decades of navigating high-stakes leadership, she found her way to Body-Based Breakthrough and experienced its profound impact on her own post-traumatic growth. Today, she’s devoted to helping people and teams lead, connect, and recover in embodied, sustainable ways that make healing and high performance accessible to all.

Founded by
Matthew Cooke, SEP
For over 15 years, I’ve devoted my life to the study and practice of nervous system healing — drawing from Somatic Experiencing, attachment theory, and trauma-informed methods to help people reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies. Along the way, I’ve had the honor of guiding more than 1,000 leaders and practitioners through profound transformation, from Fortune 500 executives to heart-centered healers.
But my deepest passion is here, with you — the practitioners, guides, and leaders called to bring this work forward. Because I know what it feels like to doubt yourself, to wonder if you’re truly equipped to hold others. And I know the freedom that comes when you finally feel confident in your body, your skills, and your presence.
At Body-Based Breakthrough, we envision a world where nervous system literacy and secure attachment to the body become as natural as breathing. Our academy exists to empower you with the tools, training, and community to step fully into your role as an embodied leader.
You are more than a practitioner. You are a guide, a catalyst, and a light in a world hungry for embodied leadership. My commitment is to walk alongside you as you unlock that potential and embody the impact you were born to create.
Together, we rise.
We’ve worked with companies and leaders all over the world
